Super Eagles goalkeeper Carl Ikeme trained with Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The club made this known via a series of tweets on its Twitter handle on Sunday.

This is coming nearly five years after Ikeme suffered cancer.

In July 2017, Ikeme was diagnosed with the disease after returning for Wolverhampton Wanderers pre-season ahead of their 2017-18 season.

However, after undergoing a rigorous 12-month treatment, he was in complete remission but the disease ended his football career and denied him a place at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Ikeme made his debut for the Super Eagles in 2015 and soon became the first-choice goalkeeper following the retirement of Vincent Enyeama.

But his condition denied a chance of participating at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Press statement on COVID-19 third wave prevention protocols highlights

LAGOS State is set to take steps to prevent another wave of COVID-19, following the flattening of the second wave. We are seeing a significant dip in the number of positive cases and deaths - going by the low occupancy rate in our isolation centers, reduction in the demand for oxygen and the positivity rate that has decreased from around an all-time high 35% in December 2020 to 1.5% as at April 2021.
